Urban and regional planning proposal no. Y-10-066-001

There are no author-identified significant results in this report. A program has been completed to print out the radiance values for any specified combination of the four MSS bands for a specified sector of an image. A program to map intensities for any band is being written. An investigation of the characteristics of cities in the Brevard County area, as seen by ERTS-1, has been started. Investigation has not been completed, however, results initially obtained are presented. A Digicol viewer was used to determine the relative reflectance of cities (and other developed sectors) in the area. This was done by a combination of two methods: (1) varying the offset control so that the brightest spot appeared first, followed by the second brightest spot; and (2) reading the relative light transmissions at selected positions. A band 5 image was used and the results, in order of maximum reflectance apparent within the sector, are given.

Urban and regional planning proposal no. Y-10-066-001

The author has identified the following significant results. An investigation is underway to determine the applicability of ERTS-1 data to urban and regional planning problems, using data for East Central Florida. Small scale land use mapping is feasible. Urban and commercial areas are sufficiently distinguishable that ERTS-1 appears to be a useful tool for monitoring urban and commercial growth. Development patterns of cities, growth patterns of cities, and distribution and changes in certain sectors within cities can be analyzed effectively. Digital analysis methods are proving useful.
